I provide affordable line editing and proofreading services. Indie authors and clients from any country are welcome.
Types of Editing
A written work should go through at least three types of editing before publication, and they should be done by at least three different people:
- It needs content editing to help you organize your material in the most interesting and understandable way and catch any passages or plot elements that are confusing, redundant or boring.
- After that, it needs line editing to polish the grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.
- And just when it seems like the piece must be perfect, it needs proofreading to catch the errors that somehow stayed in there anyway. A good professional standard for proofreading is to keep checking until you have read through the whole piece once without finding a single error.
Services
- Line Editing: The final draft must be completed and the content editing done. Attempts at line editing of earlier drafts will only waste your money, so it's in your best interest to be sure the work is ready. If you're not sure, feel free to contact me. I love talking with other writers, anyway, and would be glad to help you figure out if your writing is ready for line editing.
- Proofreading: Line editing must be completed, and the work must be new to me.
